Lyrics
You Knew
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Something's tearing open in the atmosphere
A hurting that can never come undone
Someone who was here is now gone for good
And I am wondering how to carry on
But you are not surprised
You are not afraid of what I can't get my head around
You were standing by and...
Chorus:
You knew what the future held
That now's the time I have to face the thing I fear the most
And you knew that life would knock me down
But you would break my fall and get me to
the place where I could say
That although I can't see what you do, you knew
The sky is black and time feels like it's standing still
And I don't think I want to see the world
All I have to lean on is what You have done
But sometimes that feels like another life
'Cause you are not a man
That I might know your mind or how it is you're changing me
It's hard to understand that...
Chorus
This is not the end
You don't leave a single thing undone
My comfort is in knowing you knew
